As this is post 666 for me, it got me thinking.
Are you supersitious ?

Do you walk under ladders, or make an effort to go around.

When you see a magpie - do you frantically look for its mate, and salute it if you can't ?

Do you avoid crossing people on stairs ?

I even heard it's bad luck to open a bag of crisps from the bottom.
 
When I play football I always make sure I am last out the changing rooms, always done that. Always salute lone magpies have done since when I was a kid and my mum used to tell me to do it.
 
Can't say I am tbh. I take a much more logical and scientific approach to life.

My line of thinking: How can making a gesture towards a bird influence the physics of my life.

Any midly superstitious person would be shocked at some of the things I do/do not do. Not walking under ladders though, that just common sense. :p
 
i don't ahve any apart from the fact that if i or anyone around me says 'touch wood' (fnarr!!) i have to find some wood to touch or get them to touch it.

what happens if one of your mates also does that aswel?wouldnt you miss the footy match then? :p
 
I'm not superstious at all and I'm not dead :)

I suppose having a bit of supersitition it's a bad thing, it certainly won't do you any harm :)
